Chapter 1116: Temptation

The entertainment industry is basically a place without any secrets, as long as there is any wind and grass, it will soon be known by the media, and then it will be spread to ten, ten to hundred, and everyone knows about it.

In the face of the strong pressure brought by Maoyan Movie, Timely Movie also wanted to learn from the other party's method of absorbing strong partners, but the result was extremely embarrassing, Xiao Bufan, Bai Chongshi, and He Xinghan almost vomited blood out of breath.

When the three of them quietly released the news that timely films could also be invested in through some relationship channels.

Indeed, many film companies or entertainment companies have come to inquire about the detailed conditions of cooperation.

But neither the strength nor the price quoted by these companies is enough to make Xiao Bufan and them excited, and even individual companies believe that in this situation, they can give this price, which is already worthy of the current status of timely films.

Hearing these words, He Xinghan, who had a violent personality, was so angry that he almost flipped the table on the spot.

He had never been so looked down upon.

Xiao Bufan and Bai Chongshi's faces were also very ugly, the two of them didn't expect the situation to be so bad, and the outside world was so unoptimistic about the timely movie.

Since they have decided to learn from Maoyan Movies to attract partners, the requirements will definitely not be low, not as long as they are cats and dogs in the entertainment industry, they can come over and join the timely movie, especially the offer given by the other party, which is simply insulting the signboard of the three giants.

When the situation encountered by the movie was inquired about by the media, it was immediately leaked and reported, which attracted the attention of everyone in the entertainment industry.

No one thought that the two camps, which are not very different in strength, would be treated differently in the hearts of other entertainment companies.

Maoyan Movie is another entertainment company that takes the initiative to send money to the door, and the other party may not accept it, while Timely Movie takes the initiative to absorb it, but it is not attractive, and most of the companies that come to inquire are also third-rate film companies in the entertainment industry, which makes all those who have expectations for timely movies a big disappointment.

In particular, several entertainment media, in order to make this matter more explosive and eye-catching, also went to several small companies that contacted Timely Films, and got quotations for Timely Films from them, and after reporting it in the news, it made Timely Movies even more embarrassed and had a negative impact.

As a result, both fund companies and the limelight industry have lowered their market value estimates for timely films.

When Xiao Bufan learned this, he broke a lot of things in the office, and he wanted to blow up all those small companies, and at this time, he received a call from Dimei in Hollywood, asking what was going on with the Huaxia branch of Timely Film?

Now even the timely movies on the side of the United States have been implicated.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

This kind of thing should not be revealed to the public at all, in the entertainment industry, a little wind and waves can be made into turbulent waves by those media.

Xiao Bufan finally dealt with the criticism from the United States, so he asked Bai Chongshi to ask for countermeasures, and then it took a lot of effort to stabilize the situation.

Now the entire entertainment industry is not very optimistic about the competition between timely movies and cat's eye movies.

At least in China, and even in the whole of East Asia, it is almost impossible for timely films to catch up with Maoyan movies.

The Lion City.

Yang Ming was holding his mobile phone and talking to Liu Xinsheng in Yanjing.

"You don't know that you are in the Lion City, but now Yanjing is lively, the media reporters and the guys have been squatting to guard them, and from time to time there is news about who the film is in contact with, today it is not this company, tomorrow it is which one, the news is flying all over the sky. Liu Xinsheng said excitedly on the phone, and his excited tone made people know that he was in a very happy mood now.

Yang Ming was also very happy when he heard these news, "Fast and Furious" here in the Lion City was launched, and he would definitely not be able to leave.

The matter on Yanjing's side was handed over to Liu Xinsheng to deal with, and now that he learned that the timely movie was overwhelmed by learning from him, it was naturally a cool word in his heart.

He thought about it for a while, and explained: "Our plan to speed up the progress and negotiate cooperation with Tianxia Pictures, just strike while the iron is hot, and continue to find two or three!"

After saying this, he thought of something again, and added: "According to the previous discussion, the next thing is to hand over to Shangguan Tian and their old foxes, and we can just sit back and wait to collect the money." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take notice. Liu Xinsheng said seriously.

Although Maoyan Film is an Internet company, its unique market positioning and core functions are inseparable from the circle of the film industry.

Therefore, it is best to choose from the film industry to attract new partners.

In fact, the reason why other film companies are so enthusiastic about Maoyan Movies is not because they value the benefits generated by this Internet company, but mainly because of the influence brought by the online distribution of Maoyan Films.

Especially with the progress of the times, movie ticket e-commerce is the general trend, through the Internet and new media mobile terminal generated by the box office data, has accounted for half of the entire film market share, the upward momentum is very obvious, according to this trend, I believe that next year will occupy 60% of the box office data, there is no problem.

In this case, how can Maoyan Films not attract the attention of the film industry?

According to the discussion between Yang Ming and Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao, in addition to Tianxia Pictures recommended by Oriental DreamWorks, the board of directors of Maoyan Film will absorb two or three more shareholders, and the door will be closed to the outside world.

The choice of these two or three shareholders is mainly decided by Shangguantian, Wen Jingtao, and Cao Mengsheng.

The board of directors is expanded, so Yang Ming and his shareholders, the shares in their hands will definitely be further diluted, but Yang Ming is still the largest shareholder.

It is estimated that in the end, Yang Ming's original shares held by Maoyan Film are estimated to be about 35%!

This shareholding ratio is carefully calculated by Yang Ming to let the professionals found by his uncle, neither too much, if it exceeds 50%, the proportion is too large, too strong, Shangguan Tian, Wen Jingtao and their old foxes will definitely not give up, after all, once Yang Ming holds more than half of the shares, he can get rid of them at any time and not take them to play.

In this case, it is certainly impossible to get them to work together.

If the shareholding ratio is too small, then it will inevitably weaken Yang Ming's right to speak, after all, the influence of Oriental DreamWorks in the film industry still cannot be compared with these old giants.

After research, professional economists believe that a 35% stake is the best option.

is not only the largest shareholder of Maoyan Film, but also has a great right to speak, and will not make other shareholders feel that the entire Maoyan Film can only make a voice that belongs to Yang Ming alone.

"Yang Ming, can "Fast and Furious" catch up with the Spring Festival schedule?"

In the end, Liu Xinsheng thought of a question and immediately asked it.

"Huh?" Yang Ming couldn't help but groan when he heard this, and didn't answer immediately.

It's almost November now, almost less than three months away from the Chinese New Year, if you catch up and let "Fast and Furious" be released during the Spring Festival, maybe it's really too late.

It's just that the quality of the movie will be difficult to say when the time comes.

After all, time is too tight.

In addition, there is another problem, that is, many actors in the crew are newcomers, especially Xiong Zhuang, who filmed a scene today, Yang Ming feels that he has a lot of problems and needs to keep running-in.

Liu Xinsheng on the other end of the phone knew that Yang Ming was thinking seriously, so he didn't speak again.

After a while, he waited for Yang Ming's answer: "Forget it, the time is too rushed, I don't want to smash my signboard, and this time is different from the past, there are people at home and abroad staring at it!"

When Liu Xinsheng heard Yang Ming's words, he sighed secretly, knowing that Yang Ming was telling the truth.

Time is too rushed.

Moreover, there are other film companies eyeing on the sidelines, and Yang Ming's new film can not have any problems, and it can be a box office success if the quality of the film is guaranteed.

Although Oriental DreamWorks is now regarded as a company that is destined to become an important force in the film industry, everyone knows that it is all because of Yang Ming.

If there is no Yang Ming, then Oriental DreamWorks is no different from other ordinary film companies.

It is precisely because of the signboard of Yang Ming, whether in the local or international film market, that Oriental DreamWorks will give people a unique meaning.

Since it can't be released during the Spring Festival, Liu Xinsheng has no choice but to give up, and the company has other release plans anyway.

However, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "Yang Ming, if your new film is released at the box office pressure is too great, do you think we can use real money to fry the box office data through Maoyan Movie?"

Yang Ming, who was about to hang up the phone, suddenly heard Liu Xinsheng's suggestion, and was suddenly surprised, he really didn't expect Liu Xinsheng to make this suggestion in the end.

When he thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he asked cautiously: "Brother Liu, did you think of this suggestion yourself, or did someone else remind you?"

If Liu Xinsheng thought of it himself, it was okay, in case someone reminded him, then it was obvious that someone was doing something behind his back.

No one knows better than Yang Ming the meaning of Liu Xinsheng's words, as well as the consequences and effects of doing so.

Box office data hype?

In the previous life, it was to buy the box office, and there is a saying, that is, 'ghost field'.

In the past life, there were many movie online ticket sales showing that the movie was full at midnight, but in fact there was no audience at all, and netizens vividly called it "ghost field".

To put it bluntly, this is what is known as 'box office fraud'.

Yang Ming is no stranger to this, this kind of method has long been rotten in his previous life.

If ordinary directors and movies use this method, even if they are exposed, the impact may not be very large, but if it is put on Yang Ming, the negative impact will be absolutely earth-shattering, enough to ruin Yang Ming's reputation.

Who has made Yang Ming go all the way to the present, created too many miracles, and broken countless records, and now he is the target of public criticism, and he is envied and envied by countless people.

Therefore, as long as he uses this method to commit box office fraud, once it is discovered, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to his reputation.

"No one reminded me, I thought of it when I had been discussing things with Shangguan Tian and Wen Jingtao in the past two days!" Liu Xinsheng heard Yang Ming's tone so solemn, he didn't hide it, and immediately told Yang Ming the reason, "Is there anything wrong? We are not falsifying data, but buying with real money, after all, we are the major shareholders of Maoyan Films, and the loss is limited, if this matter is put in the Donghai Cinema Line, the loss can be minimized." ”

In fact, he still hasn't said a word, that is, the combination of Maoyan Movies and Donghai Cinema Line, which can do this seamlessly, and it is very difficult for others to find out.

The reason why Liu Xinsheng has such an idea is entirely because the current situation is too unfavorable for Yang Ming.

The other party not only spends a lot of money to create a blockbuster with a star lineup, but also a movie with the same type of theme, and the most important thing is that there are two giants, one at home and abroad, and they are attacked inside and outside, although the media now attaches great importance to "Fast and Furious", but they generally believe that even if "Fast and Furious" is good-looking, the box office will definitely be seriously impacted.

In this case, Liu Xinsheng naturally hopes to keep Yang Ming's legendary aura.

To keep Yang Ming is to keep Oriental DreamWorks!

When Yang Ming heard Liu Xinsheng's words, he knew in his heart that the other party was for his good, but he really didn't expect that the box office buyer, who was criticized and accused by countless people in his previous life, would appear so quickly in this life, and his family was the first to think of it.

This is something he never imagined.

And Liu Xinsheng's suggestion is too operable, according to his assumption, using Maoyan Movies and Donghai Cinemas to jointly cover can minimize the exposure of this matter, even if it is exposed, and these two companies are the same boss, the impact of the matter can also be minimized.

To be honest, if it weren't for Yang Ming, if it was someone else, it would definitely be tempting.

Even Yang Ming himself, if it weren't for his new film "Fast and Furious", he would be tempted, and with low-hanging fruit, effortless honors and records, who wouldn't want to get?

"No, we must not do this!" Yang Ming shook his head resolutely and said.

Do something, don't do something!

He would never cheat on the movie, even if he didn't have memories of his past life, he wouldn't do it.

Such success can only deceive oneself.

He wants more than just box office success.

Since he came to this world, he has to leave his mark, and now his choice is to achieve it through movies.

He wants to make Chinese film culture the mainstream of the world, let foreign fans be obsessed with Chinese movies, let local fans be proud of domestic films, let Chinese film culture penetrate into every corner of the world, and let Chinese film culture become accustomed to it in the eyes of the world, instead of being deliberately misinterpreted and slandered.

It is necessary to make everything about Chinese ethnic customs in Chinese movies a topic of conversation among foreign fans, so that they can study the charm of the East just like the Chinese people studied Western culture in the previous life.

Therefore, he will not listen to Liu Xinsheng's advice and adopt deceptive means to maintain his position.

Liu Xinsheng heard that Yang Ming did not hesitate to reject his suggestion, and opened his mouth, he wanted to persuade him, but thinking of Yang Ming's character, he didn't speak, with his understanding of Yang Ming, he knew that once the other party made a decision, it was absolutely impossible to change and compromise.

He could only regret wasting such a good proposal.

After Yang Ming finished speaking, his heart suddenly moved, and he took his mobile phone and said leisurely: "Brother Liu, you find an opportunity to reveal this idea to that He Xinghan, don't have any connection with Oriental DreamWorks in this matter!"

Just because he can resist this temptation doesn't mean anything else can too.
